Wexford Racing Roundup - Week Ending 23/02/26

Conor Houlihan and jockey Barry Stone celebrated another victory as Kiltybo won at Thurles, marking their second win in a week. The duo had previously teamed up to win at Gowran with Nan’s Choice, Houlihan’s first winner as a trainer under rules. Nan’s Choice was sold for £115,000 at Cheltenham, making it a memorable week for the Dungarvan-based owner and trainer.

At Dundalk, Robson Aguiar's Carolina Jetstream secured a fourth win with jockey Donagh O'Connor, shrugging off top weight to win by three-quarters of a length. The four-year-old is now targeting the Good Friday meeting at Newcastle.

Tinahely trainer Philip Rothwell further extended his lead in the William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series as Give Him A Chance triumphed at Naas in a handicap hurdle. The victory boosts Rothwell’s chances in the competition, which rewards smaller stables.

In a thrilling novice chase at Naas, Colm Murphy's Goraibhmaithagat, ridden by Mark Walsh, surged late to claim a half-length victory, overcoming a less-than-ideal jump to defeat Magic McColgan.
